Defenders are small masked enemies found in the AstrolabRotG that carry a Protector with their hands and move around to shield other enemies. They are exclusive to the Rise of the Giant DLC.

Behavior[edit]

Defenders are capable of protecting at least one enemy with a force field, during which they gain damage reduction. The shielding effect is not restricted to a single enemy, although they may follow their intended target. Defenders themselves cannot be shielded by other defenders.

If they are not currently defending an enemy, Defenders will only perform a melee attack with the Protector.

Moveset[edit]

Dummy swing
  • Description: Swings at the player. This attack can only be performed if the Defender is not shielding any enemies.
  • Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.
